Airports
Atlanta: We represented a joint venture on a claim against the City of Atlanta arising out of the construction of the Concourse E apron and taxiways. The claim involved various coordination, scope and delay issues, as well as subcontractor pass-through claims. After documentary discovery and minimal depositions, the case settled following formal mediation utilizing the services of a nationally-recognized mediator.
We have also represented other parties involved in the expansion of the Atlanta International Airport. We have successfully resolved claims for delay, acceleration and extra work.
Knoxville: We served as counsel in a dispute between the Metropolitan Knoxville Airport Authority and a contractor involving runway and taxiway extensions at the McGhee/Tyson Airport in Knoxville, Tennessee. The dispute arose out of the contractor's claims for additional time to complete the work and additional compensation for using embankment material which it considered unsuitable. We were able to recover a large portion of the contractor's claims and avoid payment of the owner’s counterclaims.
Denver: We served as counsel in three separate disputes arising out of construction of the Denver International Airport ("DIA") in Denver, Colorado. (We are informed that, while underway, DIA was the largest construction project in the world.) We were able to promptly settle one of the disputes favorably without litigation, at minimal cost. In each case, we recovered a significant portion of our client's claims.
Pittsburgh: We represented a contractor with claims against the Greater Pittsburgh International Airport in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The dispute involved allegations of delay, acceleration, loss of labor productivity and extended job site and home office overhead.
Indianapolis: We served as counsel and claims consultant relating to two different claims arising out of the expansion of the Indianapolis International Airport in Indianapolis, Indiana. Claims made by the contractors include claims for delay, acceleration, extended job site overhead and extended home office overhead.
Fort Myers: We served as counsel in a dispute arising out of the construction of runways and taxiways at the Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers ( Lee County ), Florida. This matter involved allegations of delay and disruption and was successfully settled without need for a trial.
Chicago O'Hare: We served as counsel in a dispute arising out of the construction of the Permanent International Facility at O'Hare International Airport. Claims made by the contractor included claims for delay, acceleration, disruption and extended costs.
Fort Hood, Texas: We represented a general contractor who was terminated for default on a government project involving the construction of taxiways, helicopter pads and a helicopter maintenance facility at Fort Hood, Texas. After two failed mediation attempts we conducted a six‑week jury trial, obtaining a verdict of $1.7 million (almost nine times what had been offered in settlement).
Dallas-Fort Worth: We served as counsel in a dispute arising out of delay and disruption during the construction of the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport. This matter was amicably resolved with a favorable settlement for our client.
Bangor, Maine: We served as counsel in a dispute arising out of the construction of the Bangor International Airport in Bangor, Maine. The contractor made claims for delay and disruption which were resolved amicably.
